This wine was singing. One of the best Pinot's I have had (in this style) in the last few years. It was HUGE. Dark fruit, earth, spice. Palate borders on candy, but just at the edge and then the acid takes over and makes it sing. Such great stuff

Had our first beautiful day out here in the NW so we had some friends over to celebrate. Drank this on its own w/o food after dinner. Decanted for about 4 hours previous. Man am I glad it was able to stand on its own. This may be the most "delicious" syrah i have ever tasted. The nose was soft pepper almost pinenutty. Definiate beautiful perfumed blueberry and blackberry fruit with peppered steak blood. Then we got to the drink, and the blueberry and blackberry pop that happens in the mid palate was not something I have ever experienced. We just kept saying "this is soooo good" 30+ second finish. What a special bottle

Just starting to dig into the 08's from my KB stash. This was a fun one. Super deep dark fruit. Spicy and exciting. Long finish that was juicy and made you come back for another sip.
